(Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.) Regional code of the recorder and DVDs This recorder is designed and manufactured for playback of Region 1 encoded DVD software. The region code on the labels of some DVD discs indicates which type of the recorder can play those discs. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled 1 or ALL. If you try to play any other discs, the message “Incorrect region code. Can’t play back” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code label even though their playback is prohibited by area limits. ALL Notes on DVDs and Video CDs Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of the unit may not be available or other functions may be added. Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be played on the unit. About the Remote Control Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons. Battery installation Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two (R03/AAA) size batteries with 3 and # aligned correctly. Caution Do not mix old and new batteries and never mix different types of batteries such as standard, alkaline, etc. The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment. Please use the recorder following the guidelines below to protect against possible HDD failure. We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto DVD discs in order to protect against accidental loss. Do not move the recorder while it is on. Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface. Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan. Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid places, or in places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature. Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form inside the recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure. Card useable on this unit Introduction About the internal hard disk drive Compact Flash Card (CF) Micro Drive (MD) Secure Digital Card (SD) Multi Media Card (MMC) SmartMedia Card (SMC) xD-Picture Card (xD) Memory Stick (MS) Memory Stick Pro (MS-Pro) magicstor (except magicstor PLUS) Compatible with: FAT 12, FAT 16, or FAT 32 Only use the memory cards recommended above. Regarding Write Protect For cards that have a write protect switch, if the switch is on it will not be possible to write, erase or format the card. Inserting/Removing the Memory Card While the recorder is switched on, do not unplug from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the breaker switch. Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow the steps below: 1. After the message POWER OFF is shown in the display, wait at least two minutes. 2. Unplug from the wall socket. 3. Move the recorder. If there’s a power failure while the recorder is on there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost. The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems include playback unexpectedly freezing and noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the picture. However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of HDD failure. If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will be possible. In this case it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit.

Disc-related terms DVD +R (Double Layer) Double layer recording technology offers two recordable layers on a single DVD disc, providing nearly double the capacity of 4.7GB single layer DVDs. The greatest, most valuable benefit of double layer recording technology is increased capacity. Storage space is nearly doubled with double layer DVD+R media, allowing consumers to burn up to 8.5GB of video on a single DVD+R disc. DVD ±R / DVD ±RW DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold 4.38 Gigabytes and double-sided discs hold twice as much. There are no double layer single sided recordable discs. VCD (Video CD) A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80 minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video along with quality stereo sound. MPEG MPEG is an international standard for video and audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio. MP3 MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital audio files that yields very high near-CD quality. WMA Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decoding developed by Microsoft Corp. JPEG Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed file format that allows you to save images with no limit on the number of colors. DivX DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is based on the new MPEG-4 compression standard for video.You will be able to play DivX movies using this recorder. PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only) Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) version 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of high resolution can be played if they are included in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs. Title (DVD video discs only) A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For example the main feature could be title 1, a documentary describing how the film was made could be title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title is assigned a reference number enabling you to locate it easily. Chapter (DVD video discs only) A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not be recorded. Scene (VCD) On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is composed of one or several tracks. Track A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as the picture or sound track for a specific language (DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one track of video (with multiple angles) and several tracks of audio. a bc d e T/S HDD Introduction Front Panel REC DVD TV l m a POWER button and indicator Switches the recorder ON or OFF.

About JPEG image files JPEG disc compatibility with this recorder is limited as follows: Depending upon the size and number of JPEG files, it could take a long time for the recorder to read the files.

The total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 1999. Some discs may be incompatible due to a different recording format or the condition of disc. Ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg” extensions when copying into the CD layout. If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please rename them as “.jpg” file.

Please take proper care of your discs. Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings This recorder can play five different kinds of DVD discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs is always “Video format”—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD player. By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording (VR) format, though you can change this to Video format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.) The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode). Within the recording modes (which are fixed for them whole disc) are the record settings. These can be changed as required for each recording and determine the picture quality and how much space the recording will take up on the disc. About HDD recording Recording to the internal hard disk drive (HDD) is basically similar to recording to a VR mode DVD-RW disc. You have the full choice of recording quality options, including the manual mode, and of course you can record, erase and re-record as many times as you like. The capacity of the hard disk drive means that you can store many hours of video on it, even in the higher quality recording modes. To help you organize the contents, the HDD is divided into ten genre. You can name and use these genres as you like—for example, you might have a genre for movies, another for TV shows, and one for camcorder recordings. 38 Notes: The maximum number of titles that can be • recorded on the HDD is 255. • Using the HDD allows you to record a maximum of 48 hours continuously. Notes for recording The recording times shown are not exact because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded. When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording times may be shorter. If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer. The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to exactly the length of the disc. The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc. If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change the recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before you record anything on the disc. See page 24 (Disc Format) for how to do this. When using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can keep recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the disc. Before you start a recording session, check the amount of recording time left on the disc. When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording time available will only increase if you erase the last title recorded on the disc. The Delete Title option in the Title List (Original) menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title from the disc and increase the recording time available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode). Overwrite recording is available using DVD+RW discs. When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will execute the Menu-making operation to update the new title and editing when removing the disc from the recorder. So you must remove the disc after selecting the recorder’s operation mode to DVD mode. Recording time and picture quality There are four preset recording quality modes: HQ – Highest quality setting, gives about 1 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB). SQ – Default quality, sufficient for most applications, gives about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB). LQ – Slightly lower video quality, gives about 4 hour of recording time on a DVD disc (4.7GB). EQ – Lowest video quality, gives about 6 hour of recording time on a DVD (4.7GB).

Recording You can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals. This recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD, DV25) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible. You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recorder. You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN jack (including two recorders). It may not always be possible to control the connected camcorder via the DV IN jack. Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12bit/32kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set [DV Rec Audio] option to [Audio 1] or [Audio 2] as required (see page 22). Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz (not 44.1kHz). Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if the source component pauses playback or plays an unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the source component, or the DV cable becomes disconnected. Troubleshooting If you cannot get a picture and/or audio through the DV IN jack, check the bullet points: Make sure the DV cable is properly connected. Try switching off the connected equipment then switch back on. Try switching the audio input. Note: Depending on the connected camcorder, you may not be able to control it using the remote control supplied with this recorder. 43 T itle List and Chapter List Menu Overview 12 3 4 5 6 7 Using the Title List menu you can edit video content. The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on DVD, or the HDD, and whether you’re editing Original content, or a Playlist. There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs. You can directly edit the Original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a Playlist. The Playlist doesn’t actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back. Editing material recorded on the HDD is similar to editing the Original content of a VR mode DVD-RW, with similar commands for erasing and naming titles, as well as fine control over the content of chapters within titles for DVD disc. Note: During recording, if you display the Title List menu for the HDD, some of the titles may appear with a mark. These titles were recorded with a Line Input setting different to the current setting of the recorder. During recording, these titles cannot be played. 1. Press MENU/LIST to display the Title List menu. Playback should be stopped when you do this. You can also access it using HOME menu, select [TITLE LIST] option then press ENTER. When selecting titles, use the v / V buttons to display the previous/next page if there are more than six titles. If you are editing a VR mode disc, press MENU/LIST to switch between Original and Playlist menu. On the left side of the screen are the menu options. The main part of the screen shows thumbnails of the titles (or chapter) on the DVD or HDD. You can change these thumbnails using the THUMBNAIL button—see Changing Title Thumbnails on page 45. Press DISPLAY to display the information of selected title on the Title List menu. After selecting a title or chapter on the [Title List] or [Chapter List] menu, then press ENTER. The menu options appears on the left side of the menu. Use v / V to select a option then press ENTER to confirm your selection. 2. To exit the Title List menu, press RETURN (O) repeatedly. 44 1. Menu options: To display menu option, select a title or chapter then press ENTER. The options displayed differ depending on the disc type. [Chapter] Displays Chapter List of the title. [Combine] Combines two titles or chapters into one (page 49). [Delete] Deletes the title or chapter. (page 47) [Delete Part] Deletes a part of the Title (page 47). [Divide] Divides a title into two (page 49). [Dubbing] Copies the title to another media. (page 52) [Full Play] Starts playback of the selected title including the hidden chapters. [Hide (Show)] Hides (or Shows) the selected title or chapter. (page 50) [Move] Moves a chapter on the Chapter ListPlaylist menu to a position on the menu. (page 50) [Play] Start playback of the selected title or chapter. The hidden titles and chapters on the DVD+R/RW cannot be play back. [Playlist Add] Adds the title or chapter to the Playlist. (page 46) [Protect] Protects accidental recording, editing or deleting of the title. (page 50) [Rename (Title Name)] Edits the title name. (page 48) [Sort] Lists the programs on the Title List menu by Date, Title, or Category. (page 48) [Title] Displays Title List of the chapter. [Undo]/[Redo] Un-do/Re-do the last deletion/ action. (page 48) 2. Indicates the record mode, free space, and elapsed time progress bar. 3. Current media 4. Currently selected title. 5. Thumbnail 6. Shows the selected title number and total number of titles. 7. Shows the title name, recorded date, and recording length. Titles, Chapters and Parts Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a disc’s title into the Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts. Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the Original or Playlist menu. Caution When editing using the Delete, Add and Move functions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as set in the start and end point display. During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction. Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape? No. When you edit a video tape you need one video deck to play the original tape and another to record the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist. About word ‘Original’ and ‘Playlist’ -RWVR Adding Chapter Markers -RWVR +RW +R You can create chapters within a title by inserting chapter marks at the desired points. Note: Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals automatically. You can change this interval from the Initial Setup menu (see [Auto Chapter] on page 22). During recording or playing back, at the point you want to start a new chapter, press CHP ADD. A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen. Changing T itle Thumbnails HDD -RWVR +RW +R Each title displayed in the Title List menu is represented by a thumbnail picture taken from the start of that title or chapter. If you prefer, select a different still picture from within a title. Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed picture the one that appears in the Title List menu. The still picture that you choose appears in both the Original or Playlist menu. Tip: You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title on the Chapter List menu. Select a chapter on the Chapter List menu then press THUMBNAIL. The thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter is changed. Editing HDD, VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing Throughout this manual, you will often see the words Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version. Original: content refers to what’s actually recorded on the disc. Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the disc — how the Original content is to be played. 45 Making a New Playlist -RWVR Adding Additional T itle/Chapters to the Playlist Use this function to add an Original title or chapter to the Playlist. When you do this, the whole title is put into the Playlist (you can delete bits you don’t need later — see Deleting an Original or Playlist title/chapter on page 47). You can add an Original title or chapter to add to a Playlist title even if it is already registered. The title appears in the Playlist complete with the chapter markers that appear in the Original. However, if you add more chapter markers to the Original later, these are not automatically copied over into the Playlist title. 1.

Make a DVD copy of a recording on the HDD to play in another player. Transfer video from a DVD to the HDD for editing. Transfer edited video from the HDD to DVD. The simplest method of copying is to use the One Touch Copy feature. Using this you can very simply copy the title that’s currently playing from HDD to DVD, or the other way around. Note: If the title’s length is less than 5 seconds, the dubbing is not available. (from HDD to DVD) Restrictions on copying Some video material is copy-once protected. This means that it can be recorded to HDD, but it cannot then be freely copied again. If you want to transfer copy-once protected material from HDD to DVD, you’ll need to use a VR mode DVD-RW disc compatible with CPRM Ver. 1.1, and the following restrictions apply: After copying a copy-once protected title to DVD it is automatically erased from the HDD. It is not therefore possible to copy a locked title that is copy-once protected. You can identify copy-once protected material during playback by displaying disc information on-screen. A media in NTSC format cannot be copied. What is ‘CPRM’? CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media. This Recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Insert DVD+R or DVD+RW disc recorded already. 54 Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode, finalized DVD+R or DVD+RWs. A small number of players can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the other player to check what formats of discs it will play.

Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for navigating the disc. The menu can be accessed by pressing MENU/LIST or TITLE. To finalize a disc, refer to “Finalize” on page 23. Notes: Unfinalized DVD+RW is playable on regular DVD players. • The edited contents of a DVD+RW disc is compatible on regular DVD players only after finalization. • Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.) How long finalization takes depends on the type of • disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and the number of titles on the disc. • DVD+R DL disc can take up to 30 minutes to finalize. • Language Codes Use this list to input your desired language for the following initial settings: Disc Audio, Disc Subtitle, Disc Menu.
